Founded in 1971, the New England SmallCollege Athletic Conference is a group of highlyselective liberal arts colleges and universities thatshare a similar philosophy for intercollegiate athletics.

The conference was created out of a concernfor the direction of intercollegiate programs andremains committed to keeping a proper perspectiveon the role of sport in higher education.

The formation ofthe NESCAC originatedwith an agreement, firstdrafted in 1955, amongAmherst College ,Bowdoin College ,Wesleyan Universityand Williams College .

Along with thesefour institutions, BatesCollege , Colby Col-lege , Hamilton Col-lege , MiddleburyCollege , TrinityCollege and TuftsUniversity are thesustaining chartermembers.

ConnecticutCollege (which doesnot sponsor football)was added in 1982,bringing theconference’s member-ship to its current totalof 11 institutions.

NESCAC mem-bers believe intercolle-giate athletic programsshould operate inharmony with theeducational mission ofeach institution.

For this reason,the presidents ofNESCAC schools setconference policies andassume ultimateresponsibility for theoperations of theirrespective athleticdepartments.

NESCAC institutions also believe athletic teamsshould be representative of the entire student body.

Thus, admissions of financial policies areconsistent with the NCAA Division III policies thatprohibit athletic scholarships and award financial aidsolely on the basis of need.

Starting in the fall of 1992, the ten football-playing schools commenced a NESCAC-only eight

game schedule.Since the eight-game

schedule is one short for fullconference play, the teamsthat do not meet during theregular season compete in alive scrimmage a week beforethe first game.

Despite not being able tocompete in any form of playoffcompetition, NESCAC footballsquads have been successfuland some teams and playershave earned national recogni-tion. In recent years, threeplayers have made it into theNational Football League.Wesleyan graduate JeffWilner '94 (Green Bay Pack-ers), Amherst alumnus AlexBernstein '97 (BaltimoreRavens) signed free-agentcontracts after their collegiatecareers. Williams defensivetackle Ethan Brooks '96 wasdrafted by the Atlanta Falconsand is currently on the St.Louis Rams' roster.

The NESCAC's successextends beyond the gridironas well. Williams has wonthree of the first four SearsDirectors Cups awarded bythe National Association ofCollegiate Directors of Athlet-ics, while Middlebury andAmherst also finished amongthe top five institutions. In1998-99, the NESCACschools combined to win fivenational championships.

1999 Lord JeffFootball Outlook

The Amherst Lord Jeffs will look to march theRoad to Victory in 1999. Although they will miss atalented core of 18 seniors from the ’98 campaign,they will try to reload with younger players who areready to step-up to the challenge. Under theleadership of captains Luke Blocher , HaroldHenderson , and Brian Daoust , the ’99 squad willundoubtedly continue the tradition of excellenceestablished throughout the decade.

The 1999 defensive unit will look toward theiryoung, yet experienced, linebacker corps forproduction and leadership on the field. Returningsophomores Brian Landolfi and NESCAC defensiveRookie of the Year Dan Lalli will once again patrolthe middle, aided by Brian Gatewood and TimBrandt . Senior Mike Perrone and sophomore GreggStankewicz should prove to be a formidable tandemon the outside. The secondary will be in good handswith the return of Daoust, who had 6 interceptions in1998. Senior noseguard Greg O’Neill will anchor adefensive line that showed much promise in 1998.

Founded in 1855, Bates College is one of thenation’s oldest coeducational institutions of higherlearning. An important facet of the College’s educa-tional vision is its egalitarian social environment.Since its founding just before the Civil War, Bateshas stood firmly for ideals of social justice andfreedom.

Bates was the first coeducational college inNew England and among the first in the UnitedStates. Since the College’s founding, its graduateshave included men and women from various racialand religious backgrounds. The egalitarian spirit atBates is one reason that the College has never hadfraternities or sororities.

1999 White MuleFootball Outlook

After enduring a difficult 2-6 season in 1998,the Colby football program appears to be on theverge of a breakout season in 1999. With a potentmix of exciting young players and experiencedjuniors and seniors, the White Mules will look toreturn to the days of football greatness for whichColby has become known in the past decade.

Despite their difficulties in recent years, theWhite Mules have reason to be optimistic in 1999.Three of the team's losses last season were by fewerthan seven points, and Head Coach Tom Austinhopes this year's squad will have the ability andexperience necessary to step up and win the closegames. The team will once again be anchored by adominant defensive unit that finished third in theNESCAC last season in both points allowed and totalyards allowed. Built around an explosive front seven

Offensively, the White Mules hope to harnessthe isolated scoring outbursts that the teamexperienced in victories over Middlebury andHamilton in 1998 and apply them on a moreconsistent basis throughout the season. With themajority of its skill position players returning, theColby offense should be able to do that in 1999. Tri-captain Thomas Keblin , who ranked fourth in theconference in rushing yards last season, will returnfor his senior campaign at the running back position.Along with a number of talented first- and second-year players, Keblin should provide this year's teamwith explosiveness and big-play potential that couldmake the difference in close games.

1999 Cardinal FootballOutlook

Coming off the most productive offensiveseason in 116 years of Wesleyan football, the 1999Cardinal gridders should be ready to pick up wherethey left off a year ago. Posting a 6-2 mark in 1998and 13 wins in the last 16 outings over a two-yearperiod, Wesleyan will be hoping to continue the trendand push for an elusive Little Three title.

The 1998 season featured the most points(289), total offense (3,386 yards) and passing yards(1,993 yards) in team history. Notable individualrecords were established by quarterback Jake Fayand receiver Matt Perceval as they connected forseven TD receptions in a 55-28 opening-day win atMiddlebury. The seven TD catches by Perceval is anNCAA Division III record. For the year, Fay com-pleted 101 of 206 passes for 1,660 yards and 16 TDwith just eight interceptions. Perceval caught 48passes for a Cardinal single-season record 860 yardsand 14 scores. He was named a first-team all-star byboth the ECAC and the NESCAC.

Wesleyan has 17 starters (including their kickerand punter) returning from a year ago. With the entireoffensive line back, including All-Conference guardNick Lodato , the Cardinals have a tremendousstarting point on offense. Fay and Perceval are backfor their senior campaigns.

WilliamsCollege

A privately endowed, four-year liberal artscollege, Williams College was founded in 1793with funds bequeathed by Colonel Ephraim Will-iams, commander of a detachment of the Massa-chusetts militia, who was killed in 1755 during theFrench and Indian wars.

The central campus in the heart of ‘the VillageBeautiful’ is comprised of 450 acres with 99 build-ings. The outlying campus, which includes theHopkins Memorial Forest, contains 2,500 acres.

With 2,000 students coming from all 50 states,two territories and 27 countries, Williams offers 30majors in 24 departments, plus concentrations andspecial programs. The academic year is divided intotwo regular semesters and a Winter Study Program.The Winter Study Program is intended to providestudents and faculty with a dramatically differenteducational experience. The differences are in thenature of the courses, the nature of the learningexperience and the change of the educationalformat from the fall and spring semesters.

Annually, Williams has placed in the top threenational liberal arts colleges in rankings compiled byU.S. News & World Report. Williams has beenranked number one four times. The faculty atWilliams consists of 174 full-time professors inresidence, 96% of whom hold doctorate or equiva-lent degrees. The student-faculty ratio is 9:1.

1999 Ephmen FootballOutlook

The Ephs return 13 of 22 starters from lastyear's 8-0-0 team, the fourth perfect season in 113years of football. All four perfect seasons have comeunder head coach Dick Farley (81-12-3 -- .859).Overall the Ephs are riding a nine-game win streak.

Headlining the list of returning offensive playersis senior QB Sean Keenan . Keenan was named theNew England Div. II/III Offensive Player of the Year in1998. Keenan threw for 1,780 yards last season,hitting on 60.1% of his passes. He was picked off justfour times while connecting on 15 TD tosses. He ledNESCAC with a passing efficiency rating of 154.2.Also returning is junior TB Fred Storz , NESCAC'stop rusher in 1998. Storz ran his way in to the Ephrecord book with 16 TDs in one season, 15 rushingTDs, tying the record for most rushing TDs in onegame (4) and scoring the most points in one season(98).

The Eph offense averaged 423.5 yards a game

last fall and scored 314 points (39.25 a game), buttheir defense was just as effective. Williams rankedthird in the nation for fewest points allowed with just8.6 per game (69); fourth in pass efficiency defenseand fifth in turnover margin (1.77 a game). Overallthe Eph defense was ranked eighth nationallyallowing just 229.6 yards a game.

The Eph defensive unit lost its top three tacklersto graduation but three of the front four return in NickWeiss , Chris Sweatman and Will O'Brien . SeniorCasey Flavin returns at CB where a year ago hebatted down six passes, made 11 solo tackles andassisted on five others. The other CB slot was goingto go to returning captain John Berry who wasforced to the sideline after donating a kidney to anolder brother in June. Berry twice earned All-NES-CAC honors on the corner and last fall returned twopicks for TDs and was sixth on the team in tackles.
